REFLECTIVE JOURNAL

Reflective Journal

In this assignment, I am going to reflect on the previous Fresh Mart project. Before carrying out the Fresh Mart assignment my expectation of this project is that we might not successfully sell off all the fruits and vegetables as our selling day was on a Monday and Tuesday was a Wesak Day which is a public holiday where I assume most of the students might take off on a Monday but in the end we successfully sold off all the fruits and vegetables, not only this me and team mates also expect to earn a clean profit of one thousand and as expected our team really did earned a clean profit of one thousand. Furthermore, in between of the Fresh Mart project I did faced some problems, starting of the Fresh Mart project some of my teammates weren’t participative enough as some of them were group thinkers, they were not willing to give out their own ideas or opinions but instead rely on other team members ideas but in the end we did came out with some good ideas together and asked for votes and all the teammates participated. Besides that, I have developed a few skills of Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities from this Fresh Mart project. The first skill I learnt is interpersonal skills, where during this Fresh Mart project I developed an ability on getting along with my team members and carrying out the task together as a team, also I learnt how to work together and cooperate with my team members such as brain storming on creating our Fresh Mart project theme as well as collaborating with my teammates during our selling day. Not only this but also learnt and understand leadership skill. Second skill I learnt and enhanced during Fresh Mart project is communication skills, where this assignment taught me how to communicate with different level of people at any situation such as approaching to the lecturers and tutors or the foreign students. Also, I gained knowledge on ways of how to persuade and attract customers to buy the fruits and vegetables. Lastly, the overall experienced and knowledge I have gained from this Fresh Mart project is really useful for my future as it gained my confident to approach different level of people, different ages, races and different culture people more easily as in the future I will be venturing into marketing department hence it is very important for me to gain this particular skill, so it will be much comfortable for me to interact and communicate with different types of people in the future. In conclusion, I am glad that I am able to be a part of this assignment together with my section 11 classmates, as it is a good experienced and a great usable knowledge in the future.
